"A great romance turns to horror as the Duchess of Malfi seeks true love in a world of forbidden passions," according to press notes. "A play for our time as much as its own, John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi examines sexual repression, honor, class, and the true value of the human spirit, in this explosive drama of Italian intrigue."

Duchess has set design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Jared B. Leese, lighting design by Jason Lyons, sound design by Nathan Leigh, puppetry and masks by Emily DeCola, hair and make-up design by Erin Kennedy Lunsford, choreography by Tracy Bersley, stage violence by J. David Brimmer and original music by Scott Killian.

The opening-night performance will benefit Red Bull, with a reception featuring special guests Lee Blessing, Brian Murray, Roberta Maxwell and John Douglas Thompson. Tickets, priced $60-$80, are available by visiting RedBullTheater or by calling (212) 352-3101.
